Hello everyone,

utility: sql loader

Here is my problem:I need to upload data from multiple Infiles into the database table. While doing so, I would like to suppress or skip header line of each file. Is there a similar function to 'skip' or any other way to ignore header from every infile.

Here is my control file:

LOAD DATA
INFILE file1.CSV
......
INFILE file[n].CSV
REPLACE
INTO TABLE CSV_IMPORT
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
( a, b, c)

Thanks a lot

Maybe SKIP itself?

Unfortunately, Skip function is skipping the header in only the first infile and not in the rest Sad

I believe you will need to use a separate control file for each infile, in order to skip the header row in each infile.

Thanks - I wanted to avoid that, but looks like that's the only way.
